Refill instructions

When your existing candle has finished burning, either put it in the freezer for a couple hours or pour in boiling water. Either way, the bulk of the wax will be easily removed. Wipe out any remaining wax with a paper towel and insert the refill. We have a guide with detailed step by step instructions.
